Chapter 366 368 Water Repellent
"Sister Rong, how are we going to cook if we don't take out the meat inside?" Jiang Jie said with a sigh.
"Sister Rong, this thing is worth a thousand points at the exchange. Are we really going to... find a way to eat it?" Although Sister Rong had plenty of money, Xia Kai still felt that the meal was a bit expensive.
"One thousand, not to mention the good-quality beads that may be inside. The clam shells are fireproof and water-proof, and are invulnerable to swords and guns. If these four large clam shells are given to Brother Ming to be made into a heart guard, a shield or other types of protective equipment, how much do you think they would be worth?" Rong Xianxian sneered and asked back.
I don’t know whether the official exchange is deliberately lowering the price, or the staff on duty are short-sighted and don’t know the value of the thing. Let alone if they offer one thousand, even if they offer ten thousand, Rong Xianxian will not hand this thing over.
Xia Kai's eyes lit up when he heard what Rong Xianxian said. "Yes, Sister Rong, Brother Ming's level of weapon making is getting higher and higher. The weapons we put on the stall are in short supply. Every time they are put on the shelf, they are sold out. Many old customers hope that we can accept pre-orders or customization, but... you have always disagreed."
"Xia Kai, don't say this again in the future, especially don't let Brother Ming hear it. Brother Ming is our partner and friend, not a machine to make money for us. He makes weapons out of his love for the weapon refining industry and to hone his skills. What kind of weapons and how many he can make depends on the materials and his own preferences. You can't force him." Rong Xianxian said to Xia Kai with a serious face.
"Yes, Sister Rong." Xia Kai lowered his head in shame.
"But, Sister Rong, what about the weapons store we plan to open in Beijing? We will definitely be out of stock every day!" Xia Kai said worriedly.
"I still have a batch of cheap weapons. I'll sell those weapons after the New Year." Rong Xianxian thought of the batch of cold weapons that she had bought at almost bankrupt money when she was in Xitang. They were piled up in the foggy space and took up a large area.
"Oh." Xia Kai nodded in response.
"Sister Rong, how do we open this thing? It closes too tightly, without any gap at all." Jiang Jie said worriedly.
“Since it looks like river clams, we should handle it the same way as river clams. The snow-melting pool next to the refining room has just been repaired. The snow that was put in there yesterday should have melted into water by now. Put these river clams in the water, and they should open their shells soon.” Rong Xianxian had thought of it already. Normally, there is mud and sand in the body of river clams. They need to be left for two days and spit out all the mud and sand before they can be eaten. She wondered if this thing would also have mud and sand in its body?
"Sister Rong, are you really going to hold a banquet tomorrow? Who are you going to invite?" Xia Kai asked curiously. Sister Rong used to be low-key and cautious. Before the departure, she had specifically emphasized that there should be no burden in the team, but now...
Xia Kai thought about it carefully and found that Feng Xingjia and the others did not really seem to be part of the team. They were more like an affiliated force supported and cultivated by Sister Rong.
"We just want to invite the captains of several teams, as well as those under Cui Lie who have passed the investigation. I have already written the invitation letters, and they are on the table. You can distribute them later." Rong Xianxian said to Xia Kai.
Jiang Jie and Xia Kai lifted two large clam-like creatures into the snow melting pool. They almost filled up the pool, which was nearly four meters long and wide. The water level in the pool was originally only half a meter. Once these two creatures entered, the water level immediately rose a lot.
As soon as they entered the water, they immediately became active. Although the pool was shallow and small, the two big guys still arrogantly sprayed ice arrows towards Rong Xianxian's location. The snow melting pool was next to the refining room and the temperature was above zero degrees. The water jets sprayed by these two things could still condense into ice arrows, which only showed that this was their own ability.
Rong Xianxian blocked the ice arrow, and the thousands of threads on her wrist turned into a long silk net. Taking the opportunity when the clam shell opened, the silk net scooped up the glittering bead on the inner edge of the clam shell and quickly flew back. She took a look at the round light green bead the size of the tip of her little finger in her hand, which had spiritual energy fluctuating on it. Rong Xianxian left the room where the Snow Melting Pool was.
She had a hunch that this bead seemed to be the real good thing.
When Rong Xianxian returned to the living room, the two children had finished their homework and ran to the yard to play.
Rong Xianxian returned to her room and input spiritual energy into the bead. A bright white light flashed on the surface of the bead and water seemed to be flowing inside the bead. If things that grew in the water had any special effects, they should be related to water. Rong Xianxian took a bucket of water from the small river in the misty space and put the light green bead into the bucket.
Rong Xianxian had just put the beads into the bucket when, with a "splash", the water in the bucket overflowed and spilled all over the floor.
Rong Xianxian took a few steps back to avoid the water on the ground, and looked at the bead floating up and down in the water. She couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. No wonder the bucket, which was not very full to begin with, spilled so much water once such a small bead was put in.
I saw a blank area with a radius of more than ten centimeters formed around the bead, with the bead as the center. There was not a drop of water in this area, as if the bead had repelled all the water in the area around it.
This is not a pearl, this kind of bead should be called a water-repellent bead.
Although it was not yet time to take a bath, Rong Xianxian still took out the bathtub she used for her daily bath, put a bucket of water in it, adjusted the water temperature, and stepped into the bathtub.
She wanted to try whether there was breathable air in the waterless area around the water-repellent droplets.
After a series of experiments, Rong Xianxian was finally able to confirm that the area around the water-repellent bead not only had breathable air, but also that no bubbles would be produced on the water surface when breathing in this area. In other words, with this water-repellent bead in hand, one could breathe in water without having gills like a fish.
The only drawback is that the water-repellent area of the water-repellent beads is too small. This range can only cover the head, and the rest of the body still needs to be soaked in water.
But there were beads in the shells of the two large clams. The one she took was only the smallest one on the edge. Would the big bead next to it have the same function? Would the water-repelling area be larger?
Rong Xianxian dried herself, put on her clothes, and left the room.
Holding a birthday banquet for Xuanxuan is just an excuse. The main purpose is to show our strength to the invited guests and give them some benefits.
Although she had no management experience, she knew that if she wanted others to follow her, she had to give them some confidence and make them believe that there was a promising future ahead of them if they followed her.
